In 2024, Arca Continental generated a total of 140,715metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 75.64% of Arca Continental's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 11.39% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.The remaining 12.97% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.a
In 2024, Arca Continental reported a total waste generation of 140,715 metric tonnes, of which 75.64% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This high recovery rate suggests that Arca Continental has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.a
Since 2022, Arca Continental's total waste generation decreased by 2.66%, including a further 9.41% drop in 2024, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.a
Over the same period, Arca Continental's waste recovery rate declined by 4.47%, with a further 14.3% drop in 2024, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.a
Overall, while Arca Continental has successfully reduced its total waste generation, its waste recovery efforts have also declined. This pattern could suggest a shift in strategy away from circular treatment methods or a lag in recovery infrastructure development.
In 2024, Arca Continental generated a total of 140,715 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 2.02% of Arca Continental's total waste generated of was classified as hazardous waste, characterized by properties such as toxicity, flammability, corrosiveness, or reactivity that may pose risks to human health, ecosystems, or the environment.91.06% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.The remaining 6.91% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.a
Since 2022, Arca Continental's total waste generation decreased by 2.66%, with an additional 9.41% decline in 2024, suggesting a consistent and deliberate effort to minimize waste generation at the source.a
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in Arca Continental's total output increased by 9.53%, including a further 82.24% rise in 2024, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.a
Overall, Arca Continental's waste and hazardousness trends are mixed or inconclusive. A more detailed review of its materials, industry standards, and operational changes would help clarify the net environmental impact of its waste strategy.a
In 2024, Arca Continental reported that 2,845 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 2.02% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.Approximately 46.25% was managed through recovery methods, indicating a moderate integration of circular practices into its hazardous waste management. However, a significant share was still directed toward disposal, highlighting room for improvement in reducing the long-term impact of hazardous materials.a
